Laminar Burning Velocity

OxfordLBV

Oxford Laminar Burning Velocity Dataset

We provide laminar burning velocity data for various hydrocarbon fuels over a wide range of thermodynamic conditions.

Laminar burning velocity is a fundamental property of premixed flames, crucial for understanding combustion behavior in engines, gas turbines, and industrial burners. This dataset presents experimental data on laminar burning velocities for various fuel-air mixtures under different conditions, providing a reliable reference for model validation and kinetic mechanism development. Now this resource is open to public, aiming to support researchers and engineers in advancing combustion science and technology.

Schelieren Image Data

Laminar burning velocities for sustainable fuels are measured using the spherical expanding flame (SEF) method (constant-volume method). LBV data are obtained over a wide range of temperatures and pressures.

Schlieren images are available, enabling accurate cellularity detection. This also provides constant-pressure measurements of LBV.

Reconciliation of the two methods is achieved, highlighting the accuracy of the LBV data.
